This thesis uses the idea of lifting (or embedding) a nonlinear controlled dynamical system into an infinite-dimensional space of measures where this system is equivalently described by a linear equation. This equation and problems involving it are subsequ ...
This paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme for nonlinear continuous-time systems where an economic stage cost, which is not a measure of the distance to a desired set point, is combined with a classic stabilizing stage cost. The associated ...
In this paper, a novel hierarchical multirate control scheme for nonlinear discrete-time systems is presented, consisting of a robust nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) and a multirate sliding mode disturbance compensator (MSMDC). The proposed MS ...
Aircraft Electric Power Systems (EPS) route power from generators to vital avionic loads by configuring a set of electronic control switches denoted as contactors. In this paper, we address the problem of designing a hierarchical optimal control strategy f ...
State-feedback model predictive control (MPC) of constrained discrete-time periodic affine systems is considered. The periodic systems’ states and inputs are subject to periodically time-dependent, hard, polyhedral constraints. Disturbances are additive, b ...
This work presents a method to obtain inner and outer approximations of the region of attraction of a given target set as well as an admissible controller generating the inner approximation. The method is applicable to constrained polynomial dynamical syst ...
In this paper we consider a linear system represented by a coupling graph between subsystems and propose a distributed control scheme capable to guarantee asymptotic stability and satisfaction of constraints on system inputs and states. Most importantly, a ...
High-speed applications impose a hard real-time constraint on the solution of a model predictive control (MPC) problem, which generally prevents the computation of the optimal control input. As a result, in most MPC implementations guarantees on feasibilit ...
This thesis focuses on the development of some fixed-order controller design methods in the gain-scheduling/Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework. Gain-scheduled controllers designed using frequency-domain Single Input Single Output (SISO) models are co ...
Soft constrained model predictive control (MPC) is frequently applied in practice in order to ensure feasibility of the optimization during online operation. Standard techniques offer global feasibility by relaxing state or output constraints, but cannot e ...
